In the mid-90's I had a Packard Bell computer that

3.11. The computer is long gone, but I saved the disk. It is a 420 MB
Conner. I recently tried to recover the data by attaching it to one of those
IDE/SATA to USB devices and read it under Windows7, didn't work.
I am able to copy files to floppy, but the stuff I want to save won't fit on
a floppy.
I put the disk in an old PC and it will boot to DOS, it tries to start WIN3.1
but exits because of some missing sound card hardware.
What is the path of least resistance here? Is linux any help?
Just abort the AUTOEXEC.BAT processing. F8 I think. That'll allow you to
abort the Windows start and hit a DOS prompt without interference.
